Wii Hardware \ Sent in for repair... What do you get back?

Calavera says:

I sent my Wii in for repair, due to it's random artifacting (possible GPU overheating).

Do they let you know what console they have sent back? By that I mean do they tell you if it's the same console but repaired, or if it's another refurbished console, or if it's a brand new console?

Has anyone had their consoles returned and can tell me?

I want to hear what $20 has to say. Actually, how does $10 say anyhting, it's money.

I had Wiiconnect24 turned on, but the Wii was sitting on my desk (no sunlight, lots of nice cool air and breathing space). It was standing upright in the stand.

From what i've heard, it could be any of what you stated. Don't worry though, they will tell you. If they replace your console, they will give you extra Wiipoints cards if you have VC games and leftover points as well...

Ok. Cool.
If I was you I would leave wiiconnect24 on, but unplug your wii when you are not using it.
There is no point for your wii to be on while you are sleeping, it is just going to reduce the life of your wii.

Whats the benefit off unplugging the console? He might as well hold the power button down until the light goes red. That way Wiiconnect is turned off. And your comment "if I was you I would leave wiiconnect24 on, but unplug your wii when you are not using it." Doesnt make sense. If console is unplugged then naturally wiiconnect is turned off...
